DESIGN:  My goal is to arrive at a design that suits you and complements the design of your home. You may already have a design in mind or may be working with an architect who has some specific ideas for your doors. You might look through the portfolio section and find a door that works well, or one that gives you some ideas. Or you might be drawing a total blank. It's OK. We can help with the design. I like to think of the design process as a co-operative affair with the result being a door that expresses something of your own sense of home. Let's talk about it.

DRAWINGS:  Regardless of where the design originates, sooner or later drawings will have to be generated. The drawings will have to be of a technical enough nature that the dimensions, material, structure, finish, hardware, and glass (if included) are clearly accounted for. I'm happy to produce the drawings in the event you don't have the benefit of an architect. When I produce the drawings, I require a design deposit of $350.00. When the drawings are done, and the specifications are agreed upon, and you decide to order the door, the full amount of the design deposit is credited toward the door. I have already completed drawings for any of the doors in my portfolio.

PRICING:  As you might expect, assigning a price to custom work is difficult. Given the number of variables at work with each project the most helpful thing I can do is quote a range of prices. The first range of numbers gives you the extremes. The second indicates the range within which most of the doors fall.most often.

Interior doors range from $800 to $2000.
Average price ranges from $900 to $1500.

Exterior doors range from $1000 to $15,000.
Average price ranges from $1600 to $4000.

TERMS OF PAYMENT: A deposit of 50% is required to begin fabrication. The balance is due on completion. Production typically takes 8 to 12 weeks.

SHIPPING: Depending on where you are and how large your door is, crating and shipping can range between $250 and $500.
